Shower Door No Stud

They got tired of the mess.

Shower door no stud.

We are using acrylic shower wall in place of tiles. It would probably be a good idea to put a stud if you still don t feel the anchors will work for you. The shower door shouldn t be that heavy but you certainly don t want a bunch of glass raining down on someone. We offer a full line of bathroom and shower accessories.

Anyway i couldn t for the life of me find studs behind the shower stall front walls. There is no stud directly behind that offset part that holds the the top railing that holds the glass. The stud is about 1 2 inch to the side. It must be exactly 60 inches.

Hardware packs for any shower door model will contain one or the other style of anchor but will not contain both. This collar that sites on top of and in that vertical rail hangs offset almost an inch from that bar. They had a shower installed a few months ago in their basement but were using a curtain. Standard drywall anchors and hollow wall anchors.

It s a carbide tipped hole saw that would work for tile tub showers too note this is an installation without studs. We have one company telling us they can do it with hinges that hold up to 110 lbs no stud needed another saying they ll only do it if there is a stud where the door goes in and a third saying they just won t do it. No framing for shower door so some genius me forgot to put in framing for a shower door in this nice shower i have now since tiled. So the vertical rail has a stud to drill into.

My shower surround is fiberglass but i used the same attachment to drill holes in the marble surround in the video above. The next part goes freaky fast. There are two main types of wall anchors in hardware packs for kohler and sterling shower doors. Bypass or sliding door dimensions alcove shower bathtubs commonly are 60 inches wide and their bypass or sliding doors are usually about 58 inches.

There are studs about 5 into the stall but nothing along the front edge. The left side stud is at the end of the tiling not where the shower threshold is. When framing the alcove do not add any extra space to accommodate the shower tub. There is no stud where the shower screen needs to fix to the wall.

We offer free no obligation in home estimates. We offer a full line of cleaning and maintenance products that will help you keep your shower door and bathroom looking brand new. Neighbor asked if i could help install a shower door. We are concerned that there is not enough support for the shower screen if we just use wall plugs.

We re looking into getting a frameless 36 shower door 67 68 high because we dislike the look of a panel.
